((Ok. the first episode was kinda short. but it was only the history of the Space Colonies. this chapter will be longer trust me))

Episode II Colony Uprising!

"My fellow Americans." The President started, "We have now entered a time of great turmoil. The Colonies orbiting Mars are attempting to declare Independence from the Untied states. The colony that is leading this uprising is Genesis. Genesis has the largest colony based military base. The space forces on those colonies have also declared themselves' part of the revolution. In the past twenty-four hours, negotiations to end this uprising ended in failure. As a ship of refugees attempted to leave Genesis, it was destroyed. Our space forces are preparing for war. The man leading the uprising has been identified as Neo Anderson." A pilot turned off the television. "Hey! I was watching that!" Another pilot shouted. "Shut up Jericho. We aren't going to see combat, we are the forces patrolling Luna City. This war will be over before they even reach Luna. And even if it does reach. the upper level pilots will be fighting while we watch from the surface." The pilot said. "So what if we don't see combat." Nicholas said. "I don't want to just sit back and watch the war end and I'm still stuck doing patrol." The other pilot said. "But our problem is we are only fighting to preserve. they fight for their freedom. and we don't know how far they may go to win it." Nicholas said. "They're all just rebel scum." The pilot said.

((Genesis Control Room))

"How long until the fleet is ready to attack the earth colonies?" Neo asked. "About two weeks sir." An officer replied. "Good. And how long until my Gundam is ready?" neo asked. "It will be complete tomorrow sir." The officer said. "Good, and what ship will I be in command of?" Neo asked. "The U.S.S. Independence." The officer said. "Well. that name will be changed. that battle cruiser is now called the I.C.S. Sol." Neo said. ((I.C.S. = Independent Colony Ship)) "Yes sir." The officer said. "That is all. you are dismissed." Neo said, turning to the window.

((Luna City Hanger))

"Time for patrol again." Nicholas said. "This sucks. I haven't had a day off in weeks" Shouted Brian. "Yea well, soon were going to be transferred. to earth patrols." Nicholas said. "Really? How do you know?" Brian asked. They boarded their mobile suits. "Let's just say the base commander had a talk with me yesterday. they want a small patrol for the west coast." Nicholas said. "Sweet! We're going to California!" Brian said. They took off from the hanger and flew out over the terrain. "Don't get too excited. I'm not supposed to tell anyone." Nicholas said. "Oh sorry." Brian said. They flew over one of the lunar mining colonies. "Every thing is in order. returning to base." Nicholas said. "Roger." The Luna City control tower operator said. They landed in the hanger and returned to the base. The base commander was waiting for them in the hanger. As they got out of their mobile suits, they saw him and saluted. "At ease soldiers. I'm here to give you two an option. Jericho, you've been informed of this earlier. Washington wants a few patrol pilots for the west coast. and I'm giving both of you the choice of going." The base commander said, "Go home and think it over, then tell me you decisions in the morning." "Yes sir, Commander Ericsson." Nicholas and Brian said.

Nicholas went home when he was off duty; he lived just a mile from the base. When he got there he went straight to his room and went to sleep. The next morning he came out and his sister who he lived with was sitting at the table eating breakfast. "Morning Carley." Nicholas said. "You slept in your uniform again?" Carley said. "I guess I did." Nicholas replied making his breakfast. "You were on the night patrols again?" Carley asked. "Yea. and now I've been given a choice. I could stay here on Luna doing routine patrols, or I can be transferred to earth. and do patrols on the west coast." Nicholas said. "Why? Why go to earth when you know a war has started? The first attacks will probably be on earth. or on the colonies in orbit! You know that! Why put yourself in danger?" Carley cried. "Because I'm a soldier. It's my job to fight." Nicholas said. "No! It isn't your job t'die!" She cried. "I'm taking the job on earth. it's the only way I'm gonna move up in the ranks." Nicholas said. "I don't want you to take that job! With the war starting it'll be too dangerous!" Carley said. "But it'll be only a matter of time before Luna is attacked, then I'll be in danger here so." Nicholas said. "But why go looking for danger?" She cried. "Because danger is my job. I'm going to earth, stay here if you wish, but I'm going." Nicholas said. He went back to his room and put on a clean uniform, and walked out the door. When he got to the base it was almost role call. "Morning nick. so are you going?" Brian asked. "Yea. my sister argued with me this morning over it. but I'm going to earth." Nicholas said. "We should tell the commander our decisions then." Brian said. "Yea. hopefully it's the right one." Nicholas said. After role call they caught up with the base commander. "Sir, Nicholas Jericho and Brian Berkey reporting for duty." Brian said. "So have you guys made you decisions yet?" The commander asked. "Yes sir, we are going to earth." Nicholas said. "Good. Go home and collect your things. the shuttle leaves at sixteen hundred hours." The commander said. ((Four o'clock)) "Yes sir." They said. Nicholas returned to his house and started to pack his things. When he entered the house his sister gave him a cold glare, but didn't say a word. He packed his things and then walked back to the kitchen. "I know you don't want me to go. but I have to." Nicholas said. "But why?" Carley asked. "Because I consider it my duty." Nicholas said. Just then a loud car horn was heard out side. "C'mon! Let's go nick we don't have all day!" Brian shouted. "I'll call you when I get to earth. ok?" Nicholas said. "Just. be careful." Carley said. Nicholas ran out to the car and threw his stuff in the back. "What took so long?" Brian asked as Nicholas climbed in the car. "Goodbyes." Nicholas said. "Those take too long." Brian said. "Well at least I have someone to say goodbye to." Nicholas said. "Shut up." Brian said punching him in the arm. They arrived at the spaceport at about fifteen hundred hours. ((Three o'clock)) "There's our transport." Nicholas said. "Sweet" Brian said. The boarded the transport and it took off for earth.
